Caleb, our guide did a fabulous job with our tour! My husband and I were very impressed with his knowledge and personality! He really tailored the tour to our interests and needs!

Katherine was our guide on our 4 hour tour. Her family has lived in the area for generations and her knowledge of the park and its history was impressive. She gave us plenty of time out of the car to explore and take photos. A great tour!

Taking a private tour allows you to stop and take pictures of what you want. I am glad Kathie showed you all the best places.
